I think that your avi file is encoded in MPEG or something like that
(Codec, Intel Indeo V5 or 4 or 3) and you don't have the right compressor
installed on your system.

Ask your friend what are the compressor package installed on his system
and compare that with your configuration.

But no way if it's an owner compressor :
for eg. with my matrox Rainbow Runner I have received Matrox-MPEG
compressor and if i compress in this format and if my recipient doesn't
have the matrox card, he cann't read my video...

Bye,
